We are inviting Canadian Indigenous undergraduate nursing students (IUNS) from all schools of Nursing in Newfoundland and Labrador to participate in a research study titled: Indigenous Undergraduate Nursing Students’ (IUNS) Perspectives Related to Non-Indigenous Undergraduate Nursing Students’ (Non-IUNS) Relationship with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action (TRC-CA): Giving Voice to Indigenous Students’ Research Priorities.

This study seeks to learn from your experiences and perspectives as an Indigenous nursing student about how future research should explore non-Indigenous nursing students’ knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes toward the TRC-CA. Your voice will help guide the direction of future studies, ensuring that Indigenous students’ priorities shape the questions, themes, and approaches that are most important.

The study involves a one-time storytelling interview, 60-90 minutes long, conducted in a safe and supportive environment, guided by an Indigenous research team member. The sessions will be held virtually or in person, individually or in a small group, based on participant choice. You can indicate your choice when you contact the research team to express your interest to participate. Participation is completely voluntary, and your perspectives are vital in shaping future nursing education and research.

If you are interested or would like more information, please contact:

A $10 gift card will be offered in appreciation of your time. Your voice is vital in preserving the history and informing future practice.
